Opals, Emeralds & Uncut Diamonds, Oh My! Poetic Verse for The River

May 22, 2012

we find our space, sometime only after living long within our given skins…
the rapid growth of infancy, toddler and teen
the semi-settled adulthood growing emotionally
for some the growth of womb along with repsonsibility
the labyrinth seems unending – never expecting that sudden stop…

on the roads less traveled or those congested with the crowd – we find our space
from the auditorium, theater or stadium seats – front rows or mountainous heights
to the blanketed grassy patch of a public park picnic – or manicured backyards
or in any number or type of sanctuary with burning incense or tolling bells
we find our space, sometime only after living in long within our given skins…

the twisty labyrinth of life can have smoother roads if we gift our best effort
consistently doing so – the attempts become less of a chore and more
as if they were just always supposed to be that way…perhaps even fun
giving time to ourselves as well as to the universe – a ‘green’ attitude
on the roads less traveled or those congested with the crowd – we find our space

untangling our limbs from comforting hugs – that is what matters
though scrawling a few lines even in store bought cards,
dialing or pushing buttons to make a telephone voice connection, and
even a visit every now and then for those a bit further away, is nice too…
The twisty labyrinth of life can have smoother roads if we gift our best effort

the unfolded laundry waiting in the dryer will not matter at all
when what is needed are healing kisses for little ones’ slight bumps and bruises
or extra arms and legs to move appliances off of porches
and into the homes of new beginnings, we help each other – family
untangling our limbs from comforting hugs – that is what matters…

in this ever changing labyrinth called life…
we should stop more often than we do – so take many a breath,
deep and strong, let worries and lists flutter – enjoy every ‘present’
one can only prepare so much, surprise will pounce upon its’ own choosing…
the unfolded laundry waiting in the dryer will not matter at all

on those days when separation occurs we can be strong enough to wait…
our memories along with our plans of the future, bind us as we wait
to reconnect with the lilts of laughter the simple smiles and heartwarming hugs
all this and more we find around the smooth curves and abrupt bends
in this ever changing labyrinth called life…

it is time to, if one can prepare, to get lost in the light of love
amid the lightning bolts and thunder storms – that’s only the weather
for mostly it is smooth sailing for those who communicate,
compromise and cooperate in a life long partnership – so
on those days when separation occurs we can be strong enough to wait…

whispers, gentle tugs or even brandished shouts call to me…
wake up – the nights’ labyrinth of sleep and disjointed dreams
they are over – and the homecoming, the delayed reunion
from that unexpected and extended trip will finally occur
it is time to, if one can prepare, to get lost in the light of love

wanting to be completely renewed before we begin retracing our steps…
nice idea but it doesn’t always work – life likes to toss a bit of chaos into order
While the sun and moon will rise and set, the calendar days march on -
memories, celebrations and temptations of delight and misdirection…their
whispers, gentle tugs or even brandished shouts call to me…
